Tottenham's Vicario to Undergo Hernia Surgery, Paving Way for Kinsky's Potential Return

Tottenham Hotspur's goalkeeper, Guglielmo Vicario, is set to undergo hernia surgery following the team's upcoming match against Nottingham Forest. This procedure may create an opportunity for Antonin Kinsky to return to the lineup after a disappointing performance against Atletico Madrid. Spurs have confirmed that Vicario will have a minor procedure aimed at minimizing the impact on the season, with hopes of his return to action within a month. Despite playing through pain for several weeks, Vicario is expected to be available for selection in the crucial match against Forest. However, his availability for the subsequent game against Sunderland on April 12 remains uncertain, potentially opening the door for Kinsky's return. Kinsky was substituted early in the Champions League match against Atletico Madrid after committing two errors, leading to Spurs going 3-0 down. The team's manager, Igor Tudor, has expressed confidence in Kinsky's ability to bounce back, stating that he has the strength and quality to overcome the setback. Meanwhile, long-term absentee James Maddison may return from his ACL injury before the end of the season, and Dominic Solanke is expected to be fit for the match against Forest after missing training due to a hip problem. The team's injury list has eased somewhat with the return of Lucas Bergvall and Destiny Udogie, and Mohammed Kudus and Rodrigo Bentancur may also return soon.
